Publication number: 20250368402Abstract: A paint sprayer system includes a bucket lid three smaller openings and a fourth larger opening. One smaller opening is to receive a primer unit and another smaller opening is to receive a suction unit while the third smaller opening serves as an air vent. The larger opening is used to add paint to the bucket as needed. The system further includes stoppers, locking rings and caps. In practice, the stoppers and locking rings are used to insulate, seal and/or cover openings in the bucket lid and secure the primer unit and suction unit in the bucket. The paint sprayer system as described reduces or eliminates debris from the paint and further prevents paint from drying in the bucket. The paint sprayer system also eliminates much of the daily cleaning associated with conventional paint sprayer systems.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 3, 2024Publication date: December 4, 2025Inventor: Robert Roman

Publication number: 20250332602Abstract: A system involves a wheeled paint sprayer, 5-gallon paint bucket, a bucket transport apparatus and strap. More specifically, the bucket transport apparatus may be a dolly-type apparatus with the strap configured to removably attach the paint sprayer to the dolly-type apparatus. In this manner, the dolly-type apparatus supports the paint bucket and when tilted rearward about its wheels, the strap raises a front portion of the paint sprayer such that the dolly-like apparatus can be used to move the paint sprayer and paint bucket collectively. The bucket transport apparatus may include over-sized wheels to render it more stable and mobile at construction sites.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 24, 2024Publication date: October 30, 2025Inventor: Robert Roman

Patent number: 12434986Abstract: A first 5-gallon bucket with a drain, drain plug and drainpipe and a second 5-gallon bucket with a lid having an opening. In combination, the pair of 5-gallon buckets facilitate the separation of water and paint allowing the proper disposal of the paint. One method of using the 5-gallon buckets involves: (i) pouring paint water into the first 5-gallon bucket; (ii) adding aluminum sulfate and hydrated lime; (iii) waiting for the aluminum sulfate and hydrated lime to separate the paint and water with the paint collecting at the bottom of the bucket; (iv) positioning the first 5-gallon bucket atop the second 5-gallon bucket with the drain aligned with the lid opening; and (v) pushing the drainpipe down allowing water to enter the upper opening of the drainpipe and pour into the second bucket; and (vi) stopping efforts to push down the drainpipe before paint begins to enter the drainpipe.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2023Date of Patent: October 7, 2025Inventor: Robert Roman

Patent number: 10967772Abstract: A vehicle seat cushion carrier assembly (bottom and back) via which a cushion carrier structure, cushion foam, and upholstery are more easily assembled and installed in a vehicle, optionally as a modular unit. The cushion carrier structure can be multi-piece and incorporate any desired trim units. Strap fasteners are used to secure the upholstery to the cushion carrier structure and cushion foam, creating the desired creating seams, creases, and indentations. Clip fasteners are used to secure the upholstery to the cushion carrier structure around the cushion foam, especially with respect to the seat back. This allows much of the upholstering to be done outside the vehicle, optionally in a modular manner. Finally, these modular features and functionalities allow the cushion carrier assemblies (bottom and back) to be quickly and easily secured to the underlying seat pan and/or seat frame using simple screws, hooks, and clip fasteners.Type: GrantFiled: January 23, 2019Date of Patent: April 6, 2021Assignee: Volvo Car CorporationInventor: Robert Roman
